AFC Telford United boss Kevin Wilkin is adamant that he will not accept long-distance travels as an excuse this season.
The Bucks travel to Lincolnshire tomorrow to face Spalding United, a 260-mile round trip in the regionalised Southern Central Premier.
“We travel on the day, there are no excuses, and we never will use distance as an excuse,” he said. “Needham Market last year were fairly remote to most places, and they had a fantastic season, and equally so did we.”Last season, Telford noticeably struggled on long away days, losing all three of their games in Suffolk against Leiston, Needham Market and AFC Sudbury, as well as dropping points on trips to Hitchin and Royston.
